All the candidates are officially in for the 2024 general election, with 56 candidates vying for votes in eight constituencies across Lincolnshire. A member of parliament is elected by the people to represent a local area and be the voice of a community within government — championing local people and fighting for local causes.

Of the 56 candidates fighting for the eight Lincolnshire seats, a total of 31 have listed addresses in their relevant constituency, with nine living outside the county altogether. For the Lincoln seat, five of the nine candidates have addresses within the constituency boundaries.

The Lincolnshire constituency with the most local representation is Grantham & Bourne, where six of the eight candidates registered addresses within the boundary. Since the previous general election, there has been a review and redrawing of parliamentary constituencies.

In Lincolnshire, there are two key changes. The former Grantham and Stamford constituency will now become Grantham and Bourne, and Rutland and Melton will now incorporate Stamford to become Rutland and Stamford, meaning there is now an extra constituency in the county.
